% - adelphia Record. a GROWING PLANTS IN WATER. ‘Bealthy snd Prolific Stalk of Indium ' hig Grows Without the id | ; of Any Soil. It would surprise a Massachusetts farmer to see a healthy, prolific stalk of Indian corn growing from a vessel | of clear water, but such a spectacle is now often presented at the Harvard tanical gar liens, says the Boston Advertiser. For years Prof. Goodale has heen experimenting with different plans and different chemical sub- stances to sdetermine just what part they play in the necessary nourish- ment of plant life, and it is a result of these experiments that plant growths can be made to flourish with their roots entirely submerged in wa ter, without the least particle of soil Of course, this knowledge cannot yet be dpplied to commercial purposes di- rectly, but it is applied indirectly by the farmer who learns what chemical agents are valuable as fertilizers or stimulants to plant life. Indian corn has been mentioned as an illustration because it has been the most conspicuous, but there are in- numerable vegetables and even shrubs and trees which thrive in water which has a deposit of certair chemical sub- stances, such as chlot'de of potash, sulphate of magnesia. phosphate of iron, phosphate of potassium and some of the nitrates. With the use of these it has often been found that a plant will grow, even though the water in which its goots rest may be partly frozen. The chemical elements are Just as active, and the growth shoots upward in its natural manner. THREE YEARS’ LABOR COST. A Fine Piece of Mexican Drawn Work Entirely Ruined Just After Its Completion. To spend three years upon a piece of work and then, by the simple overturn- ing of an inkstand, ruin it all is not conducive to good spirits, but such was the case of a Germantown woman who for three years worked unceasingly upon a piece of Mexican drawn work, says the Philadelphia Record. A few days ago marked its completion, and 1 was laid out upon a table to await the Inspection of a purchaser, who had of- fered a sum far beyond the limit of what one would imagine fancy work to be worth in any quantity. The proud owner of the work was suddenly awak- ened from a nap by a scream from her little daughter, and, looking at the drawn work, imagined she was in the midst of a nightmare, for the greater portion was dripping with the black contents of the inkstand, upset by the little child. Chemists and drug stores were telephoned to for recipes and arti- cles for removing the stain, and after using a quantity of acids the ink had faded away, and when the drawn work had been piaced in the sun to bleach, peace was partly restored in the upset household. When it came to bring in the precious piece of linen, the first touch made it practically dissolve inte nothing, so thoroughly had- the acide eaten into the fabric. WHY CIGARS COME UNROLLED. They Get Twisted in One Direction in the Factory and in Another by Smokers. “It is an every-day occurrence to hear men complain of poorly made cigars,” said a well-known tobacconist one day last week in discussing the matter with one of his patrons, according to the Phil: “It is not always be- cause a cigar is indifferently or badly made that the wrapper curls up acs comes off. Very much oftener this comes from the cigar having been rolled by a maker's left hand and later smoked {from the hand of a right-handed man. “All cigarmakers must use both hands equally well, and economy, botk in time and material, is the prevailing rule in the tobacco factories. When a piece of tobacco is cut from the wrap- per it is cut on the bias, and rolled from left to right on the filler, and at the same time by the other hand the remain- ing pieces are used being necessarily rclled in the opposite way. For this reason the man who holds a cigar in his right hand, which always receives a few twists during th+ sourse of a smoke, rubs the wrapper the wrong way, and easily enough it b comes loosened.” No One Outside the Russian War Of. fice Knows Number of Troops in Manchuria. No one outside the Russian war office knows the actual number of troops the czar has in Manchuria or within reach of it, says Everybody’s Magazine. The Russian army in point of numbers is the largest in the world. Nearly 900,00( young men reach their majority in Rus- sia every year, and each is bound by law to spend five years in the army. If all were taken they would make an arms too large even for Russia, so only 219,00¢ go to the colors with the army or tle fleet, and the rest go to the reserve. The lowest peace strength of the Russian military establishment, therefore, num- bers more than a million men, with 42,000 officers. In war time, practically all these young men join the colors, swelling the army to the stupendous fig- ures of 4,500,000 men and 75,000 officers for whom there are provided 569,000 horses. Men who are in position to guess shrewdly say there are more than 300, 000 Russian soldiers in Manchuria or near it now. The number that can be put in the field there is limited only by the will of the government. + Men Houseservants, Male “housemaids are the most re. cent contribution to the solving of the servant problem in Great Britain, it seems. Several thousands of foreign young men have recently been trans- ported to London to engage in genera) domestic work in British househalds. Ho far nothing but commendation fe heard on the subject.

Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills are a most remarkable remedy for the relief of periodic pains, backache, nervous or sick head- ache, or any of the distress- ing aches and pains that cause women so much suffering. As pain is weakening, and leaves the system in an ex- hausted condition, it is wrong to suffer a moment longer than necessary, and you should take the Anti-Pain Pills on first in- dication of an attack, If taken as directed you may have entire confidence in their effectiveness, as well as in the fact that they will leave no dis- agreeable after-effects. They contain no morphine, opium, chloral, cocaine or other dangerous drugs. “For a long time I have suffered greatly with spells of backache, that seem almost more than I can endure. These attacks come on every month, and last two or three days. I have never been able to get anything that would give me much relief until I be- began the use of Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pils, and they always relieve me in a short time. y sister, who suffers the same way, has used them with the same results.” MRS.

Miles Medical Co., Elkhart, Ind Engineer Says Public Demands Too High a Rate of Speed to Dis- tinguish Signals. “Yes,” said the engineer of a famouse fast train, in talking over a recent big railroad wreck the other day, “there have been a good many bad wreckslately, but there’s nothing surprising about them. When a smash-up happens people get all sorts of reasons for it, but they rarely hear the right one. The real cause lies with the public, that wants to travel at a rate of speed that can’t be kept up with safety. “I have been in the business a good many years, and I am firmly convinced that 40 miles an hour is about as fast as a train ought to go. When you have to run at 50, 60, or 70 miles an hour, the engineer is simply taking chances. The _ other night I was running into a small city up the state. It seemed to me that more than a thcusand green, red and white lights were dancing before my eyes, and I couldn’t tell one from the other. How much worse it is coming into Chicago you can imagine. We will never have anything like safety in rail- road travel as long as the public de mands such high speed.” The Maori Executioner. In a collection of weapons gathered by the prince of Wales among the Mao- ris, of New Zealand, and recently pre- sented to the British museum, are many specimens of the “mere pomaniu,” ashort sword, mafle of a broad blade of jade- stone, with sharp edges. This was used mainly for the execution of prisoners, this office being considered an honor- able privilege of the chiefs. One blood- thirsty of Maoris is known to have killed 150 men by his own hand after a vie- tory with one of these old weapons. The spearlike point of the blade was used to pierce the victim's brain just above the right cheek, and with a dex- terous turn of the wrist the top of the skull was lifted completely off. Students Sell Themselves. A new custom has arisen among needy college students on the Russian Caucas- as. According toa Baku newspaper, they sell themselves in the matrimonial market. Local tradesmen, proud of re- ceiving a scholar into the family, com- pete for the honor of having a student son-in-law. The bids average $1,500. With this money the prospective bride- groom is able 1c complete hisstudies and obtain a government appointment.— Detroit Tribune Industrious Fisher. The white tern has the curious habit of never bringing less than two fish at a time to its young. It carries the fish crosswise in its bill and sometimes re- turns from its excursions with no less than four fish thus carried. It is easy eonugh to understand how it captures the first fish, but naturalists are unable to comprehend how the bird manages to retain it while securing additional ones. Its ability to hold three fish in its bill and still capture a fourth is particularly puzzling, SENT FREE $2.50 A Great Specialist, Will Send His Book an $2.60 Worth of His Famous Treatment Free to any Reader.
